Why a garage door remote won't open the door on the first try

Every remote sends a coded signal to a receiver mounted on the opener, and if any link in that chain is weak — a fading battery, an antenna knocked loose, or a receiver that's lost its stored codes — the door simply doesn't move. A remote that worked yesterday and does nothing today is usually a battery or programming issue rather than a mechanical one, which is why checking the wall button first tells so much before anyone opens the opener housing.
